  3. 2. Testing the potential to evaluate vegetation optical depth with ecosystem water dynamics in a temperate forest

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Ainahu Abdul Hamid; [2021]
    Keywords : Physical geography; Ecosystem analysis; Vegetation optical depth; Temperate Forest; Climate; LPJ-GUESS; Evapotranspiration; Leaf water potential; Isohydricity; Hydraulic failure; Carbon starvation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Warming trends have been associated with drought which induces and heightens agents and factors that cause tree mortality. Remotely sensed observations are increasingly being used in vegetation studies and are obtained from Earth observation satellites. READ MORE

  4. 3. Assessing the suitability of using Sentinel-1A SAR multi-temporal imagery to detect fallow periods between rice crops

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Lukasz Langowski; [2021]
    Keywords : Geography; Geographical Information System; GIS; Remote Sensing; Fallow; Detection; Sentinel-1A; Synthetic-aperture radar; SAR; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Fallow, understood as a period where no crop is cultivated during a growing season, is an important crop management practice. Fallow plays an important role in pest and disease management, and monitoring the presence and duration of fallow can have implications for understanding the extent and effectiveness of this agricultural practice.

  5. 4. A remote-sensing approach to studying drought resistance in Swedish old-growth and production forests

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Julika Wolf; [2020]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; drought impacts; old-growth forests; forest management; remote sensing; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Boreal forest ecosystems are predicted to experience hotter and drier summers due to climate change, leading to more frequently reduced soil water availability and an increased risk of droughts, as was already the case in Northern Europe during the severe summer drought of 2018. Prolonged water stress in forest ecosystems can lead to impacts ranging from reduced photosynthesis to forest dieback. READ MORE

  6. 5. Smart Environment - Early Wildfire Detection using IoT

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik

    Author : Carl Hidestål; André Zreik; [2020]
    Keywords : Internet of Things; Wildfire; Forest fire; Narrowband-IoT; Particle detection; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Problems with extreme weather, such as drought, has increased due to greenhouse emissions. As one of the consequences to this, forest fires have emerged more frequently on a global level. This became obvious in Sweden, in the summer of 2018, which has been stated to have been the worst affected year of forest fires in modern time. READ MORE
